Markets remain elevated amid strong demand and persistent production challenges in Salinas, California. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Brussels Sprouts are limited.

• Salinas Valley supplies are extremely limited
  • The main variety for the summer season is not performing as well as anticipated
  • July’s overcast weather and below-average temperatures have further limited growth
• Demand is strong as Salinas is the main growing region for this time of year; Santa Maria is helping in a small way, but acreage is minimal
• Quality is fair; puffy texture and seeder are heavily present
• Jumbo sprouts are more readily available, as suppliers are allocating their small and medium heads for processing to fill value-added orders
• Supplies are expected to remain limited for the next 10-14 days
• Prices will remain elevated heading into August, then ease as more volume enters the market
